Thank you, Tony! I am glad you like it! Yes, we have been enjoying snow in this country for centuries reaching back at least to the Ice Ages. In the south we have usually not quite so much, and as a result there is less planning for it. But when the Arctic air rolls off the Canadian Shield and down across the south as it has now, we can be quite uncomfortable for several weeks--not enough insulation in our houses, not enough heavy winter wear, often not enough ways to heat our houses.

Snow like this comes so seldom here that few people have any idea how to drive in it, and often the greatest hazard on the roads is from other drivers who do not consider the conditions, or do not know how to adjust to them. The cities, too, have seldom invested their resources in snow plows, so it takes longer to "dig out."
